in another (that I locked as duplicate) the OP said:
'What I would like is to be able to broadcast live so I want people to be able to see whats on my screen + be able to see me on webcam live. I want the best free software and easy to use that will allow me to broadcast live on youtube and I can switch between viewing me on webcam and viewing my screen"

Frankly? No, you won't be doing this.

Apple and Google use a team of folk to pull off those broadcasts. You seem to want to do this with a single laptop PLUS you want it to be free and easy. So far I've yet to see such a thing. There are ways to broadcast (see my other post above) such as Ucast and more but your post sounds like you are wanting to produce some show but wishing it would be all on one laptop.

So no. There is no such thing today that will rival Apple and Google broadcasts on a zero budget setup.

Why not ask them what they use to do all that?

My bet is it's more than one laptop.

You could ask "Spatry" what he uses, but as I recall it's KDEnlive, using a linux distro (Manjaro?) that includes the KDE desktop on it. I remember him mentioning the streaming software he used in one or more video, but pretty sure it was kdenlive.

that is not what I need

Thank you for your reply but I think your not getting what I need KDEnlive is a video editing software that is not what I need I have found a program called XSplit I will give it a try and see if it works

It's been found

That asking those that did exactly what you want how they did it is one of the most productive methods to find out how it's done.
